If Yon Are A Dry In Fact

You Will Vote The Wet Ticket*There is no disagreement between good, hard-headed citi

zen s r eg ar di ng th e n eed o r ad van tag es of sobriety in ourAmerican life.

There has been, however, a real difference of opinion asto how this desirable end can best be accomplished.

Fo r more t ha n t en years the Nat ion has endeavored, bymeans of the Eighteenth Amendment and its supporting legislation, to prohibit traffic in l iquor and to prevent it s u se except for religious and medicinal purposes.

Nearly a B il lio n Dol la rs have bee n s pe nt or lost in afutile at tempt to enforce the law, an amount which exceeds thereturns from the Income Tax Law in any' one yea r, andimpar ti al observe rs must concur that present-day conditionsare inherently more evil and more vicious than they have everbeen since the Volstead Act c ame i nt o existence.

In o ur own midst, and ' throughout the land, we have th eplainest evidence of the havoc an d i nj ur y wh ich are beinginflicted on our entire social and economic structure-we seethe sorry t rapping of ou r youth, th e slimy trail of the bootlegger, the shocking hypocrisy of officeholders of h ig h a ndlow station, ou r livelihoods all awry, our people divided witha n i nt en si ty a nd b it te rn es s wh ic h u tt er ly preclude t he p ro gress of the Nat ion towards its true destiny-a haven of happymen a nd women, at peace with themselve s and with all th eworld, achieving a spiritual and material prosper i ty a l togetherimpossible under t he w re tc he d circumstances which nowobtain.

Into every household the insidious influence o f t he debaclef inds i ts way, subtly and surely, and the discord and discontentwhi ch ev erywh er e ab ou nd can be easi ly t raced, in varyingdegrees, to this effort to subst itute the mailed fist for th e forceswhich ought t o p reva il i f we r ea d a ri gh t t he h is to ry o f civilization with its countless demonstrations of a nation's inabilityt o enf or ce a law which does no t have the whole-hearted sanction of it s citiz&nry.

Th e so lu tio n o f t he p ress in g problem, now a ss umingcrisis proportions, will, without a doubt , mark the beginning of

a new era in our national life, a restoration of some o f theprecious things which have been lost to us, a rehabilitationof that virile mor al e whi ch has it s ro ots i n a great charityencompassing all humanity, the fine, exalted principles whichhave made this a blessed land, with no excess of authority no rdisregard o f t he n eed o f a k indly moderation at all times andin all places.

Why c anno t we has te n t he day?

From all quarters come r ep or ts o f t he manner in whichou r fellow-citizens are protes t ing t he h arm which is beingdone, and pleading for the change which o ug ht t o comewith the poll of the Literary Digest, as y et incomplete, attracting more ballots than was the case in any of the tremendousPresidential straw votes.

The present score is 2% to 1 against the exis ting law andwhen it is noted that t he d ir ec to r o f t he pol l is an arden t personal d ry , the son of an Evangelical clergyman, additionalevidence is afforded of the accurate registration which is beingaccomplished.

Nevertheless, Prohib it ion has served it s good purpose,in giving us all the extensive experi':!nce which will enabl e u sto determine accurately and definitely wha t we don't want andwha t we do want:

We don't want unbridled liquor-none of us. We don'twant saloons-none of us. We don't want intemperancenone of us. But we do want:

A law that will work-a law that will be respected-a lawthat will put liquor in it s place and keep it there-a law thatwill co-operate (with intelligent cognizance of human naturea nd human motives) with educational and rel igious endeavorin behalf o f t ru e temperance-a law that wil l help us to protect our youth-a law that will rid us of the crooks and rascalsi n a nd out of public office who a re at present a veritable plaguein all parts of the country. We want a law which wil l beenforced because ou r people wil l bel ieve in it and wil l see to

it that it is enforced-a sensible, sane law which cor re spondswith the needs o f the occasion a nd t he prestige, patriotism andhonor of Americans.

Prohibi t ion as expressed in the Eighteen th Amendmenthas failed-it had to fa il ; we must strive fo r a better waya nd t ho se who have h ad t he t rac k for the l as t t en years, whohave had a fair opportunity to give force to their remedy, owei t t o t he ir country, t o i ts peace and welfare, to help accomplisha dif ferent and more effective plan.

The call on them for this support is irresistible if theirtrue purpose is to cure and not to kill; to rescue, no t to des tr oy ; t o reject Toryism when experience proves it to beToryism, and certainly the record of the last decade provesnothing short of tha t.

So, then, if you are a Dry-in-fact you will, to accomplishthe purpose you desire, vote t he Wet Ticket*-

'You will vote it because you believe in True Temperance.-You will vote it because you bel ieve i t is a foul thing fo ry ou r co un try t o be th e victim of a c ondi ti on w it h wh ic h i tcannot possibly cope.-You will vote the Wet Ticket* becausetherein lies hop e o f redemption, of real improvement and correction.-You will vote th e We t Ticke t* because you have thehonesty and courage to admit that there may be another andbe tt er way of achieving the goa l f or which you seek.-Youwill vote the We t Ticket* because you see every other countryin t he wo rl d which has t ri ed Prohibi tion forced to repudiatei t . -You will vote the Wet Ticket* because you have learnedas a consequence o f t hes e ten t rying years , that A b s o l u t ~Prohibition must, in th e very nature of things, a lways be anAbsolute Failure-

Failure in the sense of accomplishing permanent progress-failure in the sense of not being able to do what it set outto do.

And you won 't f or ge t that the question transcends in it simportance a ny o ther f ea tu re o f our civil l ife-You want yourcount ry on its way to brig hter and b etter t imes-You willvote the We t Ticket* because it is t he one b ig oppor tuni tyavailable to y ou to rid your land of the liquor troubles which sosorely beset it.

You wil l not be diverted by expediency-you will mee t theissue fairly a nd s quar el y a nd you wil l u se your ballot in thesplendid service of you r own United States.

* Which is t he Dry Ticket in fact. A vote for a "dry" candidate, or a straddler,

is a vote in favor of illicit liquor-don't let that t ru th be overlooked.

SPARE A DOLLAR FOR THE CRUSADE

Very few peop le who f requen t libraries have any idea of the work ofthe librarians, even in so smal1 an institution as the Narberth Community

Library. A g ir l a nnounc ing her intention of going" to a library schoolmeets with t he a lmos t automatic response, "\Vhy go to a schoo l? \Nhatdoes a l ibrar ian do but st am p a date?"Or the comment may be , " 'How nice!Such an easy, l adyl ike occupation!" Aseries of comments on t he v ar ie ty and Idetail· of the work which your libariansin Narberth are doing, week in andweek out, may be interesting.

The logical beginning is the choiceand purchase of books. The librarian,with the co-opera t ion of a committeeof t rus tees , constant ly watches advertisements, publishers' lists, book reviews and the sugges tions of patrons,and taking into account literary value,probable popular ity, the needs of different s ec ti on s o f t he library's col1ections, and a lways the price, makes upher lists. At least monthly she sends

to her dealer an order, thus careful1y Ic hose n, a nd made up with equal care,for author, title and publi sher must'111 bc c lea rly givc n to assure accurate fil1ing of the ordcr.
